Selected Research“The Spirituality Aspect of Healthcare: A Correlation Between Science and the Believer,” Ariel Furlow

Selected ArtFaith Rx, Shoshana Bieler

Selected Language“The Patient’s Prayer,” Livia Raulinaitis

We chose Ariel Furlow's research project because we were
drawn to the spiritual aspect and the art piece, Faith Rx, by
Shoshana Bieler. Our group saw multiple mathematical
connections not only in the research, but also the art and
literature portions of the project. Using techniques from algebra,
geometry, and calculus, we were able to convey the correlation
between mathematics and everyday life.

Research

Through all of this data, we decided to focus on one
statistic:

Research: Objective

Through this data, we determined a logistic equation,
exponential equation, and quadratic equation.

We then compared the data and figured out the most reasonable
model.

Research Comparison

Throughout this process, we determined that the most appropriate
equation is the logistic equation.

Literature

Literature:
Objective

For the literature portion, we
computed the frequency of letters used in the poem.

By using Microsoft Excel, we typed
out the poem and then sorted it alphabetically.

We then used the different graphing
functions and sorting to produce different types of graphs.

Through Wikipedia, we found data and
compared it to the data that we found.

We then made different graphs to
compare the vowels and consonants.

Literature: Data
Comparison

When comparing these two sets of
data, we found that the data were very similar in terms of
frequency and percentage.

For example, "E" in both sets of
data is the most frequently used letter with a similar percentage
of 11% or 12%.

Also, "K," "J," "Q," "X," and "Z"
are the letters in both sets of data that are used the least
mount.
